It’s been 10 days since convicted killer Danelo Cavalcante shimmied up a wall at the Chester County Prison and scurried to freedom.

There have been nearly a dozen confirmed sightings — including two on Friday — in Chester County since the 34-year-old Brazilian national’s Aug. 31 escape, and officials have assigned more cops to the manhunt, CNN reported Saturday.

“We pulled more people in through the night last night,” Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said Friday, adding that the state police and other agencies have sent reinforcements.

“We have got numerous tactical teams that are out doing searches.”

State police described Cavalcante as extremely dangerous.

All I am say is, where I live the countryside is far more rough than Longwood Gardens, and there are nearby mountains to hide in. Nevertheless wanted people are usually caught very quickly because the cops put up helicopters and other aircraft with heat-detecting equipment, and they send dogs in when they find something large and warm. We’re just hicks out here but somehow bad guys don’t run around free for days. So I don’t know what the problem is with these PA cops.

I lived in rural PA, for a year as a boy. They’re pretty hick out there, too. The mountains are big enough to hide an army of fugitives. But just about every home has a gun rack or two within easy reach if he happens by, and the police must have some decent man-hunting assets. But somehow, they just can’t get it together.
